Thanks for everyone's comments. Like I said before, I think the Fresno import
can be fixed with a little manual work, ok maybe more than a little. I have
done some minor edits to it and have wanted to really go in and do some major
cleanup work but have not had the time. But since I was the one who imported
it, I want to be the one to clean it up. So here is what I propose.
I am going to start going through the data and making changes to it to make it
easier to edit and add new data and to make it easier to download large areas.
1. Get rid of redundant and conflicting tags.
2. Remove empty areas. I will review these areas and probably end up deleting
most of them unless they have an obvious landuse.
2. Align the shapes to match what is on the ground. I plan to either get rid of
or modify them so they match what is on the ground.
3. Merge landuse areas with the same tag. This will essentially get rid of most
of the individual parcels and turn them into one area for areas that are
touching. Initially I had hoped the parcels could be addressed. But as someone
pointed out, even if they are, they might not be in the center of the building.
4. Get rid of extra tags. I going to try to remove the extra tags. If I can't
do it manually I will check about doing it with a script.
I will do most of the cleanup myself, but if anyone wants to help feel free to
jump in or get in touch. As always, I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks, Nathan
